SENIORS L CLASS POEM We, the Class of forty-nine, In preparing to terminate Our twelve full years of school, Would like to recall with you Memorable events at Katonah. To remember the athletics, The closeness of scores, the thrill of A touchdown or the winning basket. To feel the elation in a paper well written Or a high mark on a test. To recall the Junior Prom and Senior Ball, The many days of work on The Little Minister Our choice forthe Senior play. To look back on the Yearbook with lts spirit of cooperation and the Sensation of a iob well done. And before we leave, To remember once again the gladness In working for our school. Then for a moment let us look Into the future, knowing that all will be well Ancl hoping some day, the Class of '49 May assemble once more To review our happy days at Katonah. -By Caroline Herz. CLASS HISTORY ln 1936 the doors of the old school on Bedford Road stood open to a group of wide-eyed youngsters. They entered the halls of learning aglow with anticipation. But it was something new and strange and it had to be absorbed slowly. lt was. ln the front row of the first grade was found little Billy Fowler dunking shy Norma Ritch's pigtails into his inkwell. Next was seen John Greenfieldt making eyes at blonde Peggy Curran. ln the back row resided Dick Corlett who was to become one of the finest filibusters Katonah High has ever known. Next to him sat demure Una Wilson, overcome with amazement. Thus the future class of '49 invaded K.H.S. and started their education under the patient guidance of Miss Wiles. The next year found us in the second grade with Mrs. Hasseltine. There we were joined by a strangely silent Tommy Ganung, laughing Jane Fer- guson from Bedford Hills, and Tommy Broderick, the boy wonder who was born with a silver basketball in his hand. Then came Miss Bingham's third grade and along with it came one lonely but valuable addition from Pleasantville-Bill Weist. Dark haired Dolores Leal ioined us in the fourth grade. That was the year we moved lock, stock and barrel to the beautiful new school on Huntville Road. Mrs. Virtuoso had a hard time calming us down. The fifth grade found us trying the sanity of the newly-wed Mrs. Ganung. Handsome Donnie Joyce, quiet Barbara Elsesser and cute Janet Zarges ioined our ranks. The sixth year of our education was under the supervision of Mrs. Schuler. Her attendance record included industrious Carmen Gerardi and petite Bobbie Lynn from Golden's Bridge, and shy Shirley Morgan from Sanford, Florida. Donnie Joyce left us for Poughkeepsie. At last! We were upstairs! Mrs. Woodcock, our advisor, helped us start the famous seventh grade proiect of selling pencils. A golden-locked Joyce Hall quietly made her entrance. Shirley Morgan left our class and returned to Florida. Mr. Myers was our eighth grade teacher. Finding K.H.S. irresistible, Shirley came back to us. 9 Finally, we had attained the rank of freshmen, and our class grew by leaps and bounds. From South Salem came an eager group which included Jean Koenig, Shirley Tripp, Herb Steidle, Charlie Arnold and Ralph Gay. Other faces were unfamiliar too. Terry Chase came from Ridgefield High and Malcolm Burt from St. Mary's. Our class advisors, Miss Miller and Miss Bryan, helped us adapt ourselves to the strange patterns of high school life. Ken Dann was our freshman class president. The beginning of our Sophomore year found us with two more additions -namely Caroline Herz from Chappaqua, and Donnie Joyce who came back to ioin our class from Poughkeepsie. We entered the social life of K.H.S. by giving a square dance under the capable hand of Joyce Hall, our class president. Then, along in the middle of the year, came Jackie Paillex from Queens and Bob Shorter from New Rochelle. Upperclassmen! We were rapidly nearing the end of our school days and we were very lucky to have as advisors Miss Courreges and Mr. Smith. Also during our Junior year our class found itself with three new members. First, there was our French addition, Lucile Laurent, from Emma Willard School in Troy, and then Opal Sneddon from Mt. Kisco, and last Dick Jarvis, our racing enthusiast, from St. Mary's. Bob Shorter was our president that year and our Prom was the most outstanding event of the year. Who will ever forget the beautiful merry-go-round, streamers, balloons and everything? Una Wilson was our Prom Queen and Dick Eddy our Prom King. It certainly was a gorgeous affair. September, 1948 found us returning to the halls of K.H.S. for the last time-we were finally Seniors. The last member of our class, Jack Wolfe, appeared in our homeroom from Yorktown. Our class was finally complete. We started our last year by giving a platter dance with the unexpected added attraction of a square-dance orchestra and refreshments. After that we plunged into the dramatic triumph of the century, THE LITTLE MINISTER, our very successful Senior Play. During Christmas vacation we had our Senior Ball at which there was a large turnout of alumni. Then, to start the New Year off right, we held a Square Dance. Now, as we write our yearbook, we realize that our days at K.H.S. are very short. Commencement will soon be upon us and the Class of '49 will all go their separate ways. We will long remember our school days and we want to express our sincere gratitude to all those who have helped us along the way.

Well don't keep me in suspense. Let's have a look. All right, here you are, replies Charlie, turning on the instrument.. What do you see? Why there's Janet Zarges back at Katonah teaching the sixth grade and no . . . yes, it's Joyce Hall teaching history. And there's -Carmen Gerardi working on the stage. He must have a steady iob there now as stage carpenter. Look, isn't that the activity room? Why I'm sure that's Norma Ritch directing the Glee Club. It sounds pretty good, doesn't it? The scene is changing. We're in New York City. There's Broadway and Bill Fowler's name up in lights. He's starring in MacBeth under the direction of Opal Sneddon. There's Arthur Murray's. Do you see Una Wilson in there teaching? Listen! That sound is familiar. Why it's Jane Ferguson in front of her studio, Giggles Inc. The sign says I guarantee to teach you to laugh correctly. Here we are in Madison Square Garden. There's Tom Broderick ready to make a sensational hook shot. Do you see any familiar faces in the stands? Why there's Caroline Herz taking notes for her sports column. The scene has changed again. This is a broadcasting studio. Listen to John Green- fieldt rattling off that script. And there's Jackie Paillex writing the singing commercials for Schmell, the greatest name in family soaps. Isn't this Grand Central Station? There's Jean Koenig behind the information booth. She always wanted to travel. The Futurevision is moving rapidly and is now focused on North Africa. Look closely and you will see Herb Steidle hunting big game. On the way back from Africa we see an airplane with two more members of the Class of '49 in it. Lucile Laurent is an air hostess and Dolores Leal is taking dictation from an ambassador. I wonder where they are going. In a matter of seconds we're back in the United States. Dick Corlett is in Congress and iust listen to him filibustering. I wonder what he's talking about now. The Futurevision is once again in Katonah. I'm not too sure iust where we are but I can see Shirley Tripp and Barbara Elsesser. They've been raising hamsters since Shirley became a lab technician. We're on Main Street and there's Dick Jarvis' used car lot. Look, a new shingle has been put out. lt's Doc Shorter's. Just look at that billboard, will you? Auto Races this Saturday night featuring the one and only speed king Jack Wolfe. He ought to be good. Why here's a new men's shop run by Ralph Gay and Terry Chase. I wonder if that could be Bill Weist in charge of their finances. Why is the Futurevision heading toward the shoe store? Why, of course, to see Bobbie Lynn in the Women's department of Adler's Elevated. Oh, that cute dress shop. That must be Shirley Morgan's, and I'll bet she deseigned all those clothes herself. We're going to Phelps'! There's Mac Burtl After all his extensive training in the field he should be a pretty professional soda ierk by now. While we are in Phelps' we can seen Tommy Ganung, who is Katonah's bowling champion. Now we're at the old school lot and there's a show going on. I can't quite make out the name.

Mr. Smith and Miss Courreges had made the choice. The Little Minister, the delightful play by James Barrie, was to be our Senior Play. Everyone was excited, as evidenced by the fact that the entire class tried out for parts in the play. An all-star cast was soon selected, headed by Malcolm Burt as Gavin Dishart, the Little Minister, and Lucile Laurent as Babbie, the gypsy lass. Then began the real work. Week-ends and holidays of Mr. Smith, the cast and the crew were gladly given up for rehearsal time. As time progressed we became more and more enthusiastic. Una Wilson played the understanding mother capably. Shirley Tripp, as old Nanny, was sure to evoke tears before the village physician, Dr. McQueen, played by Robert Shorter, could send her to the poor house. Bill Fowler's portrayal of the haughty Lord Rintoul would only earn him a villain's fate, but the wagging tongue of Mora McLaren, Jean Koenig, almost undermined the minister's position. Rob Dow, the town drunkard, as played by Tom Broderick, presented a serious threat to Babbie's love for the minister, while his daughter Effie, Bobbie Lynn, made a touching appeal that almost ended the romance. Jackie Paillex provided some moments of humor as Jean McFadden, the new servant girl, which were supplemented by Donald Joyce as the sergeant searching for the gypsy. Two realistic mob scenes were highlighted by Jim Donohue's rebellious speech, and Charles Arnold and Bill Weist gave able support. Our beautiful set was erected under the direction of Miss Courreges, and no one could have done a better job. Behind the scenes Opal Sneddon assisted Mr. Smith with his excellent direction. Joyce Hall, Dolores Leal, Bill Weist and Carmen Gerardi completed the staff. Finally, after two months of practice, December third arrived. The matinee went off well, but the big test was that night. With a mixture of anxiety and dread we awaited the curtain, then the play was on! When the final curtain rang down we knew our ploy had been a tremendous success, and our efforts well worth the while. U xv, 1 .ln 4 li n i ik. .shi N i x L QA.

SPORTS PROGRAM This is the first class to graduate with the opportunities of four years of girls' intramurals, a system set up in the athletic department to enable all girls to participate in every sport regardless of whether or not she may excell. lt is not compulsory, but each girl is encouraged to participate in one or more of the sports offered in this program which includes ping pong, bad- minton, archery, hockey, volleyball, basketball and softball. Tournaments are organized in the first three sports, are played off during gym classes and free periods, and are interspaced with the four remain- ing team sports. These teams are arranged to the best of the instructor's ability with a mixture of all high school classes in order that they be as evenly balanced as possible, and thus make for better and closer games in the play- offs. In each of the team games the winning intramural teams are united to compete in a play day against similar winning teams from the five schools in our league-namely Bedford, Briarcliff, Chappaqua and Somers. This, of course, gives girls the opportunity to meet, and play with, girls from nearby schools-and it is play with rather than against, for at play days the teams representing the various schools are broken up in order to have members from at least two schools on one team. A play day is beneficial from the standpoint of learning to play together rather than of developing a too keen competitive spirit. To top off each intramural season two honor teams are chosen-the cream of the crop, so to speak, are chosen to represent Katonah in the inter- school games. This gives the best players a little added attention which they will deserve, but it does not in any way detract from the spirit of good sportmanship. It helps also the further knowledge of the techniques of the game and the desire for good clean fun. With our intramurals, goes a point sytem. For their efforts, the girls are given awards at the end of each year. For receiving a minimum of 60 points during the ist year a block letter is awarded, for the 2nd year, an old English letter, the 3rd an athletic pin, and the 4th an athletic medal. lt is interesting to note that over this four year period, the intramural participation has increased tremendously. The first year we had barely three basketball teams-now we have eight with at least one substitute for each team. Our tournaments too have grown. In the first pong pong tournament we had 39 playersp this year we had 77 competing. As the years roll on, it is hoped that more sports may be added, and that there will continue to be an ever increasing interest in sports and the continuance of the sportsmanlike manner the girls have shown in the past. 44 . i ge, g l t . ,J ,l 1 Lg J Ly Cvxyojfiil f fl r ,Jam Ts' VD ' Lf jf onor Team Kneeling: J.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Varsity Basketball team, although lacking experience, managed to come through with' a good season. With only two hold-overs from lost year's squad, Coach Whittleton molded a unit that took eleven decisions and dropped six. N Our first game saw three seniors on the squad against Brewster. They were Captain Tom Broderick, Don Joyce, and Bob Shorter. The boys tried hard, but Brewster triumphed by two points. The Katonah cagers hit the comeback trail in their next game when they defeated St. Mary's, our crosstown rival, by 39-24. Then came successive victories over Briarcliff, which was our first league game, Tuckahoe, Chappaqua, Somers, and Peekskill Military Academy. Following this, the purple warriors took it on the chin from Bedford, in a hard fought contest which turned out to be our first league loss. When Brewster came to town, our first loss was avenged by a decisive Katonah victory. Tuckahoe was swamped by the purple wave, but Briarcliff took our measure. On our trip to Chappaqua the following Tuesday, our league hopes were shattered in a heart-breaking overtime loss. After that, Somers went under by thirty points. Peekskill Military Academy took our measure on the court, but we bounced to defeat Bedford at home. A game with Scarborough Prep was canceled, and Mt. Kisco handed us a defeat in our last game. Although we lost six games, our record at home was perfect, and to wind up a satisfying season, four cagers from the hilltop saw action in the league All-Star Game. 47 I lp l r A 'ily I it A 'lv ' . - Junior Varsity Basketball First Row: D.

The team has a final record of eleven victories and six defeats. Our first three games resulted in wins for the junior warriors, but then Tuckahoe and Chappaqua handed them successive losses. Somers, Peekskill Military Academy, Bedford, and Brewster fell before our J.V., but Mt. Kisco won out in an overtime thriller. Then Tuckahoe took the Indians' scalp for the second time. A league win over Briarcliff was sandwiched in before Chappaqua defeated us on their court. We again beat Somers, Peekskill Military Academy, and Bedford in a row. An unexpected rest came when the Scarborough Prep game was called off. The boys were unable to bounce back and wound up the season with a loss to Mt. Kisco. Although the Junior Varsity lost a couple of tough games, they finished in a tie for first place in the league. For the honor, Captain Doug Barrie received the trophy for the team at the annual All-Star Game. 48 NJXE-R Cowl 500 me .,...IB1f....gf.,.,fffX Jlmftwnw aseball Kneeling: P. Mazza, F. Stone, W.

The final tally showed three wins for the purple wave against three losses and a deadlock. The Senior Class was represented by three members on the squad-Dick Corlett, Herb Steidle and Jim Donohue. In the first game the team traveled to Dobbs Ferry and were handed a 14 to 6 defeat by Children's Village. The following week, however, we downed Carmel by a 32 to 7 count. A strong Mt. Kisco team rudely dumped the hilltoppers the next time out-by a 36 to 0 romp, but our pride was partially regained by a stubborn' 'l 3 to 13 tie with Haldane. Then Brewster came to town and managed to push over two tallies in the final quarter to shut out the fighting Katondh team by 13 points. The high spot of the season came when Katonah handed a battling Chappaqua team a 6 to O defeat, to win the traditional battle for the plaque. The season ended with a victory the following week when an underdog purple squad outfought Briarcliff. The 8 to 7 win came when a blocked Briarcliff punt was downed in the end zone for a Katonah six-pointer. Coach Whittleton and the team deserve a great deal of credit for a iob well done during the past SSGSOI1. l 51 4.aa f' is . 1 7, 'S v ',. as -1-5s'?,. -5 J: -I.-., .- Yi' yn -a x . ,- ,A , 3,14 ag 'vu .5', 1 - 'vu 4: ..,, .U f w N. 1, S fa? ri I 1 'Til af' Q Q 'E gi H' 1 3' gt -. ai M 'um ,nw fwnf of-nqwmamw 1 lj ' -...b-.
